Although Xavi and Pedro grabbed the headlines in the game against Llevant in the opening game of 2011, there were plenty of other protagonists as the selection of facts and figures from the game shows below:
► Víctor Valdés made his 384th appearance for the team, equalling the number of games
played by Antoni Ramallets and must now set his sights on Andoni Zubizarreta’s record of 410
games.
►Stuani’s 81st minute goal was the first the team had conceded at home since 14th
November, when Nilmar scored for Villarreal.
► The win was Guardiola’s team’s 11th La Liga win on
the run, beating their previous best run from the treble winning 2008/09 season and taking them one
closer to the Club record of 14 straight wins from the 2005/06 campaign under Frank Rijkaard.
► The victory also marked the team’s 24th consecutive game unbeaten, equalling
the run set in 2005/06 and just three short of the Club record set in the 1973/74 season.
► The game saw the return of Gaby Milito after two months out with an injury he picked
up in the Cup game against Ceuta in November.
► Barça have won every one of the last 18 La Liga games that
Sergio Busquets has played in, something only Puskas, Del Sol and Carles Puyol have equalled.
► Xavi made 151 successful passes, 12 more than the whole Llevant team, but unusually
for him, he was also the Barça player who gave away most possession(13).
